Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Fang Xun took a small sip and nodded, "It's delicious. Master Mao's cooking at Wanmin Restaurant is naturally beyond reproach."

He paused, then looked at the villagers and said loudly, "Alright, everyone, start eating. Otherwise, the food will get cold and won't taste as good."

After Fang Xun took the first sip of soup, the villagers also began to line up to get chicken soup one after another.

As Fang Xun's little secretary, Little Ningguang naturally took on the management duties without hesitation, organizing everything in an orderly fashion.

Soon, all the villagers were eating steaming hot meals.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Anyone who didn't know would have thought it was the Lantern Rite Festival.

During this process, Fang Xun also specifically saved a portion of the meal for Ningguang.

The little girl ensured that every villager could eat reasonably, This resulted in Little Ningguang being the last one to eat.

Fang Xun didn't want Little Ningguang to eat leftovers, so he specifically instructed Master Mao to cook a separate meal for her.

Since he had decided to take care of Ningguang, he would naturally give her the best.

He couldn't let the little pitiful feel sad or wronged in any way.

Chapter 41: Can I have some coconut milk?

Seeing that all the villagers had received their meals, Little Ningguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her task was now complete, and she prepared to get her own food.

However, when Ningguang walked closer, she found that the dishes in the food basins were basically empty. She could only pour soup over her rice to eat.

Ningguang wasn't sad about this.

Because she had experienced too many hardships before, She knew that even eating rice with soup was much better than going hungry.

For her, being able to fill her stomach was already good enough, so why would she be picky?

Just as Ningguang was about to mix her rice, Fang Xun brought a steaming, generous portion of food to the little pitiful's front.

Fang Xun reached out and pinched Ningguang's cheek, his voice full of doting, "Little girl, eat while it's hot. Otherwise, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Looking at the large bowl of food in front of her, Ningguang's face was full of surprise.

She immediately realized that this was a meal that Fang Xun had specifically asked Master Mao to stir-fry for her.

At that moment, the little girl's heart was filled with warmth.

She hadn't expected Fang Xun to be thinking of her all the time.

He had even specifically asked Master Mao to make an extra meal.

It felt so good to have Brother Fang Xun taking care of her~

(*≧∪≦)

Little Ningguang took the food and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Fang Xun~"

Looking at Little Ningguang's cute and charming appearance, Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It was just cooking a meal for her separately, was she that happy about it?

However, Fang Xun had to admit that, Ever since Little Ningguang stopped doing heavy labor and worrying about making money, The little girl had become more and more beautiful, or perhaps she was always this beautiful.

Fang Xun believed that, As long as this clean and adorable little child was raised well, In time, Ningguang would surely become the most elegant and beautiful woman in Liyue.

At this moment, Fang Xun noticed again, Ningguang was picking through the food in her bowl with her chopsticks, carefully separating the dishes.

At first, Fang Xun thought Ningguang was a picky eater.

Until Ningguang transferred all the meat to Fang Xun's bowl, leaving only some green vegetables and chili in her own.

"Ningguang knows that Brother Fang Xun likes these dishes, so Ningguang wants to give them to Brother Fang Xun~"

After these few days of close contact, Ningguang had memorized Fang Xun's living habits.

For example, Fang Xun liked to eat meat in small pieces, and he ate relatively lightly, not liking spicy food much.

Fang Xun hadn't explicitly mentioned these details, but Ningguang remembered them all.

So her picking and choosing just now wasn't because she was a picky eater, but rather to set aside the dishes Fang Xun liked.

The little girl was innocent and pure, with simple thoughts, she just wanted to leave the best things for Fang Xun.

Fang Xun didn't speak, he just reached out and ruffled Ningguang's little head.

They say daughters are like little padded jackets, though Ningguang wasn't Fang Xun's daughter, he could still feel the warmth a little padded jacket brought.

The little girl was too sensible.

"Little girl, I'm done eating. You can eat the rest of the food yourself."

Fang Xun was touched internally, but he still tactfully declined Ningguang.

Little Ningguang looked a bit dejected, pouting her lips, appearing pitiful.

"Does Brother Fang Xun dislike Ningguang?"

The little girl was sensitive. Seeing Fang Xun refuse, she thought he disliked her.

Seeing Little Ningguang on the verge of tears from sadness, Fang Xun quickly said, "Brother Fang Xun likes Ningguang too much to dislike her! How could I dislike Ningguang?"

The future Little Ningguang's tea-pouring skills were top-notch.

If Fang Xun disliked Ningguang, he figured he'd slap himself twice.

Fang Xun paused, then continued, "I was mainly considering that Little Ningguang is still in her growing stage."

"You need to eat more to get enough nutrition, understand?"

"Not only should you eat more, but I've also arranged for Master Mao to prepare papaya for you as a post-meal fruit,"

"With this combination of nutrition, you'll grow up faster, understand?"

Fang Xun said with a completely serious expression; he wasn't lying at all.

Little Ningguang's beautiful eyes welled up with tears as she stared intently at Fang Xun.

After a while, the little girl finally spoke weakly, "Brother Fang Xun, don't lie to Ningguang."

"Brother Fang Xun... really doesn't dislike Ningguang."

Fang Xun swore with all his might, "I won't lie to you. If I lie, I'll get the guaranteed 5-star every single time!"

There was no more sincere promise than that.

Little Ningguang tilted her head. She didn't understand what "guaranteed 5-star" meant, but she could see the seriousness in Fang Xun's expression, that he wasn't lying.

Little Ningguang hugged Fang Xun tightly, then softly said, "Ningguang likes Brother Fang Xun too."

Seeing that Little Ningguang had stopped crying, Fang Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cute little child was indeed cute, but she cried too easily.

While Ningguang was quietly eating, Fang Xun looked up at another little one, Qiqi.

While the surrounding villagers were laughing and chatting, Little Qiqi sat quietly in a corner, lost in thought.

As if sensing someone watching her, she looked up and met Fang Xun's gaze.

Immediately after, Little Qiqi walked towards Fang Xun with her rice bowl.

Little Qiqi blinked her big pink eyes and said earnestly, "Qiqi... is not hungry..."

"The food... is for Fang Xun to eat..."

As she spoke, Little Qiqi leaned forward and handed the bowl filled with food to Fang Xun.

Due to Qiqi's special constitution, she couldn't taste anything she ate and never felt hungry.

The reason Qiqi had gotten a portion of food was entirely because she was worried Fang Xun wouldn't be full.

This portion of food was specifically saved for Fang Xun by Qiqi.

Fang Xun suddenly felt like an old father.

Both daughters at home were exceptionally obedient and sensible.

This made him, the old father, feel immensely gratified.

However, why were these two little ones constantly trying to feed him?
